The new "F" word in Fez - "Flounge"Wandering along new Zkzak Rouah near the Talaa Kbira, try pausing at number 95. Here you will find a new tapas bar with the intriguing name of the F Lounge, or should that be Flounge? In any case it is an interesting place to pause in the heady atmosphere of the Fez Medina.
The success of Café Clock has spawned several new places including the Mezzanine Bar opposite the entrance to the Jnan Sbil gardens and Fes et Gestes can be found at 39 Arsat El Hamoumi in Ziat
Flounge offers coffees, sodas, and tapas-like briouates filled with fish. The chill music is on and the light is fashionably dim. Shisha can also be enjoyed on three banquettes set aside for this purpose.
For those unfamiliar with smoking shisha - Flounge has this to say - "Smoking a Water Pipe is nothing like smoking a cigarette, Cigarettes are for nervous people, competitive people, people on the run. When you smoke a Water Pipe, you have time to think. It teaches you patience and tolerance, and gives you an appreciation of a good company. Sheesha smokers have a much more balanced approach to life than cigarette smokers do. The smoke is noticeably cooler than cigarette smoke, and lightly intoxicating. Before long, the water begins to turn brown; smokers' say it is filtering out many of the harmful substances that they would otherwise be inhaling."On hot days, or in the chill of winter it is good to have so many choices in the medina and Flounging about could well catch on.

Un bar où l'on sert le sempiternel thé à la menthe ?
Est-ce qu'ils servent des boissons alcoolisées et est-ce qu'il y a des coins non-fumeurs ?...
Est ce qu'on y sert de l'alcool?
Le problème de ce genre de cafés (situés dans la médina) c'est la fréquentation. Surtout que celui ci dispose de chichas, donc je suis un peu sceptique
Mezzanine est le seul bar qui sert de l'alcool, et ce n'est pas exactement dans la medina ... pour les coins non-fumeurs, je comprends que la loi marocaine va changer comme les autres pays ou on ne peut pas fumer dans les bars et restaurants.
the place is not a Bar since there is not alcohol yet, this is a little misunderstanding, the place aims to be a retreat far from the stress of the medina where to enjoy some mediterranean tapas while listening to hotel Costes like music and and occasional Shisha too with dim light in good company. A security man in the door assures the entrance of quality customers, being happy to be a meeting place for different cultures. Hope you enjoy it,
bet regards,
